	Say Retrolegends, not wanting to hijack the thread (very cool car BTW) but you. Do know the van in your signature picture is for sale if you really want to be unique. www.guildclassiccars.com/carsale.html

I watched them restore it on the show Chop Cut Rebuild (did they get that in the UK) Where the Van is (Guild of Auto Restorers) is about 1/2 an hour away and just amazing to go see- you can't get in the shops but it is quite open and you can see a lot! Saw this video

	Well the old gal performed without fault all the way to Prescott and back which was a 170 mile round trip and it managed to return 35 mpg,even the fuel gauge decided to spring into life on the way back up the A46! 85 miles at 55 mph and I needed a nap! Must be getting old! Mind you those seat covers are well comfy!! Anyway when I got back I managed to blag some bits from a sad old 100a in a breakers in Birmingham It had a super rare set of 120a alloys with nearly new tyres and a full set of nuts (with lockys) and centre caps all for £100 Tried one on for size but they really need powder coating and I think the car is deffo going to have to go a couple of inches toward the tarmac!

	Sad to see the one in the scrapper, but happy that it's giving you some tasty bits for the custardcar. Looks right at home on the campsite with the roofrack on.

	The only bonus is that the rear suspension will have to be dismantled so it may be chop chop and drop time for the springs!
